Beloved dunks you aren’t that impressed by.

What that says.

Ill start….


Ricky Davis on Steve Nash

https://thumbs.gfycat.com/HollowBlaringBanteng-size_restricted.gif




After about 17 years to think about it….

Not only did he not even jump that high by super athlete standards….and not only is Nash not a noteworthy addition to anyone’s poster list….and not only was the already small victim not even trying to block it….

Kenny Smith had it right about his reaction way back then.

He said showing your ass the way he did after that dunk is like the people who buy a Bentley and put TVs in the headrest, put it on some rims, and chop the top off.

You had a Bentley to begin with. It didn’t need all that. But I wouldn’t call that dunk a Bentley. That dunk is one of those tiny BMW coupes that came out late 90s. Z3 I think. Every 4th middle aged guy got a blue one and sped around showing off like it didn’t cost like 40k.

That dunk is an entry level luxury coupe for middle management divorced dads getting back into single life.

As in….good. Nothing to be all “Ooooooh shit!” about and stomping around for 30 seconds.


My other one….and go ahead and get your feathers pre ruffled….










https://thumbs.gfycat.com/GrippingUnsightlyGerbil-size_restricted.gif






From the day it happened it was a “meh” to me.

Ive seen it in 90 Kobe videos and tributes….and I always wonder why they didn’t go with like….the up and under on/around all of Minnesota. Or the dunk on Sabonis. Or on Yao. Or Dirk. Or the behind the back 180(which haters argued us all into calling it because he didn’t do a full 360…it was a real argument).


Every time I see it I just wish someone dig deeper into Kobe’s bag.

I don’t think it makes my top 20 Kobe dunks but people really want it to be amazing.

He got him. Out of position and too far under to contest much….but he got him.

I think the helpless position of the defender is what makes me not care about both of these dunks really. Same for Lebron on Duncan if I’m remembering it correctly.

Someone just existing in front of you shouldn’t count as much to me. Maybe if you outright clear him. That’s different. But dunking on someone who can’t really block it but just happens to be there?

Eh.

All such dunks can get out of my personal poster record book. And my personal book is the only one that counts of course.

[SouBeachTalents]

I'm sure I'll be in the extreme minority on this, but I never got the hype about Baron's dunk on Kirilenko. That was one of the most talked about dunks in recent memory, everyone went ape shit over it, but even from the first time I watched it, I never saw anything extraordinary about it.

[Kblaze8855]

Watching it isn’t really enough to get the feeling of that whole situation. Those warriors, that crowd, and Baron having a magical run just kinda made it wild when it happened. The dunk itself?

Not nearly Barons nastiest. That title might go to the two hander on Hardaway which…I admit is weird of me to say since it’s so much like Ricky on Nash.

Wade on Varejao when his dunk on Perkins was 100 times better

Byron Scott is one player who I'm not really a fan of, but had underrated hops and posters. (The 2nd dunk is nasty)

however Kobe on Dwight?


No no.

That was sick

[Reggie43]

Pippen on Travis Best.

[SaintzFury13]

LeBron's dunk on Terry wasn't really all that great to me. LeBron already had the momentum as he was up in the air before Terry even had time to react. And Terry was nearly underneath the basket, so LeBron was more than close enough to dunk without anything impeding his progress enough to make a difference. Above all else, LeBron has a significant strength and weight advantage over Terry, so what the hell do you expect? At least when Jordan dunked on Knight, they were both further away from the basket and Jordan didn't have nearly as much momentum as LeBron did, making it look far more impressive and brutal at the same time.

The only reason that dunk gets the attention that it gets is because Terry lit up LeBron in the finals two years prior and this was payback of some sorts for it.

[Kblaze8855]

I remember him talking about how that’s all kids know him for.



“Every camp, every clinic in America I go and talk to kids, they don’t ask like, ‘How did it feel to play 19 years? How did it feel to play with Dirk [Nowitzki] or win a championship? How did it feel for LeBron to dunk on you like that?'” Terry relayed.
“Like, ‘Come on, man. Get out of here.'”

[HunterSThompson]

Dr Js cradle dunk is just a regular dunk. the real cradle dunk is Larry Nance and Michael Jordan's version where they reverse it and bring it back in the air. Dr J does the hard part while gathering for the jump



https://youtu.be/YWYrjqfZqA8

and hes going at the basket on an easier angle too. its like a 6/10 tops

what was there to execute. he just cuffs it and swings it while running. when I used to dunk I literally could have pulled this dunk off in a game. it's not up to Dr Js standards

[Kblaze8855]

I could dunk fairly easily at one time but I never could have done that in a game. Straight 2 foot jumper. I used to doa lot of wanna be doctor j moves with the ball since I could palm it well by non Doc/Jordan/Freak standards. Never on dunks though. Straight up and down dunker. No glide at all so a lot of the beautiful one foot takeoffs amaze me.

I was a 1 legged jumper so that Dr J dunk is just a regular dunk to me. it's cool how he fakes the guy out of the way by doing it but by the time he jumps it's just a Karl Malone dunk basically

Foot was way over the line. Basically dunked from a regular spot

[HunterSThompson]

Foot was way over the line. Basically dunked from a regular spot

having his foot on the line made it a more fancy/memorable dunk

and people usually take off at the dotted line

only jordan, James white and Zach lavine made that dunk look nice. the distance guys like pippen made it look plain and boring

[L.Kizzle]

That Kobe dunk was nasty.
The Ricky Davis one was about a 6.5 I guess. Not bad.

Shawn Kemp over Lister was okay, he's had much better ones.

That was at the time a great dunk.
But now it's way overrated.
If he would have jumped a little bit further...

[SATAN]

Yeah I never liked the way it was praised so much. It's not a terrible dunk by any means but to win two dunk comps with that dunk (that someone else had already done before) is kinda lame. James White from the free throw is far more impressive:

[ClipperRevival]

Agree with Ricky Davis.

Disagree with Kobe. It's a beautiful play aesthetically. He literally has his di*k at Howard's mouth. That's alpha stuff. And also the authority of the dunk. It's an "In yo face" dunk.

[ClipperRevival]

That Kobe dunk was nasty.
The Ricky Davis one was about a 6.5 I guess. Not bad.

Shawn Kemp over Lister was okay, he's had much better ones.

Agreed.

Within the context of the situation it was huge but as for the dunk itself, not that great. Kemp has 20-30 more impressive dunks.

His sole focus on that dunk wasn't to jump from the FT. You will notice he had plenty of room to spare as he hit part of his wrist on the dunk, not to mention the full c*ckback. Plus, he had his head at rim level.

Those angles are misleading.

[ClipperRevival]

Those angles are misleading.

We all know MJ's body is close to perfectly in line with the rim in this pic as most FT line dunkers jump right at the front of the rim as that is the shortest distance. So there is no distortion between MJ and the rim being closer/further away from the camera in this pic. They are pretty much in line. So this pic accurately displays MJ's head at rim level.

https://c.tenor.com/UDWHN_4o_ekAAAAM/michael-jordan-ball-fakes.gif

MJ did a FT link dunk in jeans with EASE with a c*ck back too. Go to :38 of this vid. He was a "celebrity judge" in this event and turned out dunking. LOL

[GimmeThat]

the only thing you can tell from the Ricky Davis dunk, is that he'd been getting some low grade phone sex

[SATAN]

Jesus Christ, ClippersRevival. We get it, bro. :oldlol:

MJ's Dr J copy dunks were good for the time but hardly anything crazy in hindsight. It wasn't even surprising he did them. That was my main thing about them. Many people were hyped because it was MJ, their god. It's not like he did anything Vince Carter-like. James White's free throw line dunks were far more impressive.

So what was his sole purpose then?
Was it just coincidence he jumped from the free throw line?

[Shogon]

The Kobe on Dwight dunk wasn't that level of impressive but people don't care about objective reality.

If Dwight hadn't decided to challenge (extremely late through no fault of his own I might add) then that dunk is a big nothing.

But people only care about clickbait headlines... you see the apex of the jump / push off and it looks really bad for Dwight.


Speaking of the apex of jumps / push offs....

Tom Chambers on Mark Jackson.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDyBSTQDwH8

Obviously an amazing looking dunk. And there's no denying that Chambers could jump through the ceiling but... it's the same thing with the Kobe dunk to an extent... both of them used the body of the defenders to either get higher or stay higher longer than they otherwise would have.

Both good dunks... both way overrated.

[SATAN]

So what was his sole purpose then?
Was it just coincidence he jumped from the free throw line?

MJ clearly tried to jump from the free throw line. ClippersRevival is either making excuses for his god or believes his god is incapable of making mistakes.

That distorts everything.

[ClipperRevival]

Of course his point was to execute a FT line dunk but my point is, that wasn't his SOLE purpose. Meaning a FT dunk is hard to just execute. You have to be a special athlete to bring anything extra. Most are just reaching heavily towards the rim with their arms, barely getting the dunk through.

MJ did a full c*ck back and wasn't reaching hard to execute the dunk. Look at the pic below, does that look like a guy BARELY trying to execute a basic FT dunk?

Live action shots make it impossible to see whether a player gets his head at rim level because it happens in a nanosecond. Only still pics do it justice. There is no distortion on the depth of the rim or MJ in this pic. We all know, they are equal in depth. And the picture was taken directly from the side, not at some odd angle. There is no distortion, his head is at rim level.

Look at the rear angle on the missed attempt, he wasn't near getting rim level.

Not that it's a big deal, who is legitimately getting their head rim level jumping from the free throw line?


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhiTz2RXlE8

[ClipperRevival]

Live video is too fast to measure accurate max vertical. For instance, take a look at the MJ dunk below starting at 1:50. Video first shows odd angles of the dunk where it LITERALLY looks like the worst dunk contest dunk EVER. But watch from the last angle and you can see he had his head at rim level.


https://youtu.be/seVLmfaW7HU

The fact that you can't discern that an angle from the floor is misleading means you need to do more research. Even in that pic you've been using you can tell the rim is higher.

[Lebowski]

Tom Chambers on the Big Three, and Reggie Lewis.

Because, how dare he?

[ClipperRevival]

Perhaps it was not EXACTLY at rim level, meaning 10'. But can we all admit, it's pretty darn close?

Most NBA players can't get their head at rim level even if they tried right below the rim. For MJ to get close in a FT dunk is proof of his GOAT tier athleticism. That's all I'm saying.

It was a nice impressive dunk, no argurment there. In terms of style Lebron's best dunks are one footed power dunks over people. MJ's dunks are more artistic and stylized.

[Bronbron23]

Yeah they're different dunkers. Mj could would throw down power dunks here in there but it was usually more stylish than power. Brons are definitely more powerful but he does have some flare to his dunks also. His one leg dunk 1 hand where he cocks it way back is nice. His one leg reverse is also pretty stylish. Brons 2 foot is ok but other than james white bron probably gets up higher than anyone ever off of one. Mj on the otherhand is probably the most versatile leaper ever. He was elite off both. He even caught alot of body's off the hop step which you rarely see from anyone.

[FKAri]

Starks on "The Bulls". He dunked on ONE dude. No one else was a factor. Just because MJ was in the vicinity doesn't mean he dunked on MJ too. Goddamn NYC media.
